"HUH?!!" "The hell do you mean who? Who else would I be talking to?"
He grabbed her and started rubbing her head, and she screamed for him to stop.
"Now, answer my question."
"Hmph. My name is Ari, Shimazu Ari."
"Tch, almost got yourself killed. How nice."
"You're so mean."
"If you don't like it, then leave."
"But I don't have anywhere to go to."
She crumpled up on the floor and began sobbing and cuddling the cub.
"…sigh, fine, you can come along or whatever."
She immediately ceased her crying and perked up, as did the cub.
"Yay, also I and doggo are hungry. Give us food!!"
*I swear i'll kill this brat*
He proceeded to scout the proximity for any lingering threats and scavenged any equipment the kobolds had on them. After securing themselves, they began on their journey towards the nearest town.
They trotted along in silence---
"Give us food, give us food, arf arf arf."
"Brat, another word and I will—"
His sentence was abruptly cut short by the rustling that was being made in the nearby bushes. They all fell silent, and the boy drew his dagger, ready for battle. They silently stared at the frontier, pending the reveal of the imminent danger. In a flash, it jumped out of the bush almost unseen, and it—
"ARF!"
"Oh, it's just doggo. Whew, don't scare us like that."
With the veins popping out from his head and the way he was gritting his teeth, it was apparent that the boy was very annoyed by the situation.
"Tch, what have I gotten myself into with these little brats."
*Now that I think about it...*
"Oi, tell me something."
"Ah yes? What is it?"
"How did you get your hands on a Raito Wolf?'
"A Raito Wolf? What's that?"
"It's the cub you keep calling doggo or whatever, I would explain its capabilities of when it's grown, but you probably won't understand anyway."
"Hmm, so should I name it wolfie?"
"…. That's none of my business. However, it's not normal for Raito Wolves to take a liking to humans… well, it's whatever. You better take care of it."
"Yes, sir!"
They trotted along, heading towards their destination with Ari and Wolfie happily frolicking around while the boy was highly annoyed by everything that had happened.
